PPL Confuser errors?

I have an upcoming meteorology exam this saturday and as I am going through my confuser questions, I and getting more and more confused. , for example, the PPl Confuser and Meteorology air pilots manual disagree with each other, is the confuser wrong or is it just me going crazy after a long day?

Thanks, Joe

I agree with ab33t.

My gut feel was about one "Confuser" answer in 50 was wrong, which still leaves a comfortable margin in the PPL exams.

As a matter of fact, a number of answers in the Confuser are wrong, at least in the 8th edition. If I remember, they were in total in the region of five, in the whole book.

There have been at least a couple of threads in the past on specific errors in the Confuser. I remember one was an altimetry question which I think was in the Met section.

Why don't you post the full question with the answers here, and we'll take a look for you. As others have said, there are a few questions in the confuser that are simply wrong or have the wrong answer marked as the right answer.

But search the forum first. You're probably not the first one to be confused by some of these questions in the confuser.

Thanks for your fast replys, I have found errors in the confuser but the confusion was probably due to being infront of the confuser for 3 hours last night. But I used my senses and backed it up with the air manual in the end. If anyone does know of any errors in the met section in the 9th edition please let me know. Thanks once again.
